Overview & Reviews
The larger 3.6-liter V6 is now available on the front-wheel-drive CXL model, while the top-of-the-line Ultra is now offered in both front- and all-wheel-drive versions. New tire and wheel combinations round out the changes for 2005.
- Usable third-row seats that fold flat, comfortable ride, plenty of interior storage, refined 3.6-liter engine, good fuel economy.
- Weak standard V6 engine, good-looking but cheap-feeling interior materials, limited off-road ability compared to SUVs.

Rendezvous a womens dream - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By mercedes - November 21 - 10:00 amThe car has it all. Plenty of storage from shopping to hauling around future NBA stars. The look is smart without being stuffy. You can easily see Rendezvous in a middle school parking lot as a student limo to a quality dinner with friends. No hiding this vechile down the street.

Great - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By Dorohtea M. Barger - October 30 - 11:16 amMy car is a 2002, the leather seats are a fine quality, I dont think they should have given it a poor quality rating. I like my vehicle and would consider buying another one. When people ask me about my vehicle I highly recommend them to buy one. I do wish it had more leg room in the second and third row. I also would like if it had better gas mileage. Also, if the On Star had a phone you could take out of your car so you wouldnt have to have a cell phone with one number and your On Star with another number.

Last Buick Standing - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By Last Buick Standing - October 8 - 10:00 amUntil last February ... My husband and I have LOVED the Rendezveous! NOW --well you judge....7 months/8 major problems 1) Just under 45,000 miles we had to replace the front Wheel Bearings - 2) and consequently all the tires. 3) The Transmission went - MAJOR bits and pieces in the oil pan 4) the clutch was replaced 5) the clutch was replaced AGAIN 6) the air conditioning went-something about a cracked block 7) The gas gage no longer works 8) After noting a strange noise when turning a tight circle we have now been told the Rear Wheel Differential needs to be replaced for $4000 -- if not repaired we have been told that the rear wheels "could" lock

Mr TOM URCIUOLI - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By THOMAS URCIUOLI - January 24 - 10:00 amVERY STYLISH APPEALS TO YOUNG AND OLD. HANDLES LIKE A BABY CARRIAGE. USES MORE GAS THEN EXPECTED, BUT ENGIN IS SMOOTH AND QUIET. DRIVING BUICKS SINCE 1959, ALL NEW, AVG 5 YEARS THEN TRADE IN. THE LAST 3 WERE LEASES. IM FEARFUL THIS IS MY LAST, DUE TO HIGH PRICES AND FIXED INCOME. HOWEVER IF YOU NEED A CROSS BETWEEN SUV AND SEDAN THE RANDEVOUS IS THE CAR FOR YOU.

Better than a minivan - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By Winner04 - December 13 - 10:00 amThis is my first SUV. I opted to buy the Rendezvous because of the roomy interior (3rd row was important to me) and the price was within my budget. However, the V6 engine lacks power and I can hear the wind outside (sounds like a tornado moving overhead) when driving on open roads. Will I buy another Buick? Maybe. Ive only had this vehicle for a month. So far, I have no significant complaints.

fun car - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
By golf nut - March 21 - 10:00 amI have had many new cars, this is the most fun to drive of any of them.It handles and rides very well. I have the Ultra and would like more Ultra features in it, I sold a 03 park ave when I bought this. So far I love the car.
